Reparing Leak in Tire Side Wall

Sasquatch Jones · 2014-11-04T18:55:19+00:00

I have a slow lead in the side wall that came from scraping some kind of sharp object laying by the curb. Looks like a 1/2-inch cut, but jagged. Tire is tubeless radial. Is it possible to patch something like this on the side wall? Patch kits say they are for the tread but don't say specifically not to use them on the side. 2nd thought -- can I put a tube in it? Seems like I remember tire places say tubeless can't be fixed with a tube, but I can't see why not. Anyway, thanks in advance for any help. SJ

Me too! If you include bicycle tyres, it is well over 50 years for me. ;)
